Hi #EconTwitter! 📚
Preparing for #econometrics and need a solid foundation in linear algebra?
Check out 👇these lecture notes by Cesar Aguilar (@SUNYGeneseo) - they cover a lot, from systems of linear equations to discrete dynamical systems, and include practical applications.
Perfect for master's and PhD students needing a thorough grounding in the math that powers #economics & #econometrics. ⭐️

Hi EconTwitter!
Writing your first referee report can be a difficult task - after all, referees get implicitly reviewed by editors! 😳
If you need help, on top of recommendations from @camharvey, @marcfbellemare, @TDeryugina, @PassalacquaAnd, @pnikolov & @DEAGiles, check out 👇this great summary by @arthurturrell.
Simply, an invaluable guide to navigate the nuances of peer review! ⭐️

Hi #EconTwitter!
Did you know you can teach 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐚𝐥𝐠𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚 without mentioning 𝑑𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑠 until the end of the course?
Check out @AxlerLinear's video series associated with his best-selling textbook.📽️
A very fascinating approach - recommended!🌟
Hi #EconTwitter! 📊
For applied economists familiar with two-way fixed effects and Diff-in-Diff:
Check out👇this very nice work by @CdeChaisemartin (@sciencespo) & Xavier D'Haultfœuille (@ENSAEparis) in the Econometrics Journal.
They highlight the impact of heterogeneous policy effects on estimates and survey robust alternatives.
Highly recommended! ⭐️
